On Our Radar: February 16, 2017

ART: The UMLAUF Sculpture Garden & Museum opens their new exhibition titled Mentoring a Muse: Charles Umlauf & Farrah Fawcett, bringing the one-time student’s and professor’s art together for the first ever exhibition. The Blanton Museum of Art generously lend over thirty objects to the exhibit. The UMLAUF will present these works plus others from the UMLAUF and private collections — many of which have never been seen. The exhibit runs February 16 through August 20, 2017.

The event is free and open to the public. RSVP via The Brewer’s Table Facebook event.
